22 Marvel Jumping On Points For November 2016

By Trevor Van As on November 2, 2016. Last Updated on November 2, 2016.

One of the most common questions I get on this site is “where is a good place to start reading Marvel?” With the publisher slowly winding up Civil War II event at the moment Marvel are looking at creating new places to start reading their comics. To save some confusion I’ve collated 22 comics that are great places to start reading Marvel in November 2016.

This month we see a slew of new series as well as jumping on points for comics that have been running.

I’ve also added the solicitation text, creator credits, covers and other things to help you take the dive into Marvel comics.

And in a special backup story, acclaimed poet YONA HARVEY (Hemming the Water) explores the true origins of The People’s mysterious leader Zenzi.
